Google Is Carbon Neutral

Google is well ahead of other big multinationals when it comes to their carbon footprint. In fact they became carbon neutral all the way back in 2007 - an amazing achievement! But remember they are a platform so it is slightly easier to become carbon neutral then say a manufacturing company.

Now their goal is to have a net neural carbon footprint over their entire lifetime and to only use carbon free energy by 2030 according to Tech Crunch. Remember you can buy carbon credits or you can invest in separate green projects to negate your current carbon emissions. Not too difficult for a company with over $100bn in cash.
The 2030 goal is to use only carbon free energy without purchasing credits or investing in external projects. This means that all their campuses, offices and data centres which service all their products must be off the grid 100% of the time. This is an ambitious goal and a first of its kind for a company that size. Well done Google.
